Sandals Barbados

We went to Sandals Barbados for our Wedding in November, which was lovely, but entirely tarnished by the events that followed after. In the weeks that followed, we found out that our legal documents had been incorrectly sent to another person, which we were lied to about by Sandals, and not formally notified about until 4 months later. The UK office who handled the matter have been appalling and no one has been willing to speak with us to discuss the matter. I cannot stress more strongly to NOT book your wedding here. We have been left feeling disgusted by the level of service we received following such appalling handling of our personal information and their refusal to even discuss the matter with us is a further insult. Save your money and book elsewhere!

We had a fabulous time at Sandals Barbados. Beach was absolutely stunning, huge array of food and drink options being able to use both resorts, gardens/landscaping and facilities all brilliant. We mostly used the pools at Sandals Royal as there were renovations happening at Sandals Barbados. The communication on the renovations pre to our arrival were quite poor and we were having to press sandals and BA for info. Although it didn’t affect our room, and the noise didn’t bother us, the main pool and building at Sandals Barbados was being renovated so it was a bit of a ghost town in that area. However, the other pools and facilities absolutely made up for it. Food options were great, me and my husband are huge foodies and we were so impressed. Bombay Club was wonderful in particular (do not skip the lamb chops!). Greenhouse was also amazing for both breakfast and dinner. Rooms were lovely, spacious and the outdoor bath was a nice touch. On the whole the staff were lovely and helpful - there were a few instances of rude staff which I haven’t had before at other sandals resorts where service was better, but this didn’t spoil the holiday and other staff were pleasant.

This was our third trip to Sandals Barbados and we were not disappointed. One bonus this trip was that a building was closed for renovation, so the crowd was thinner and we never had lines at any bars, no crowded beach, etc. The facility is lovely, and the fact that you get all the options of two resorts in one is a bonus. The best thing about it was the Butler Service! Our team: Archibald, Shae and Jabari were the BEST!! They made sure we had no worries or cares. We never ran out of bubbly!! As they say, Once you go Butler, you never go back! Thanks to this team (and the trainee Nevard) who took such great care of us. And kudos to the lovely ladies in the Red Lane Spa...that was heavenly! See you next year!

We had a fantastic vacation at Sandals Barbados! We stayed in a club level swim up room; the room was spacious and clean, and sitting outside by the pool with my morning coffee was heavenly! I asked for soy milk for our room, and a carton was delivered within minutes. Our favorite restaurants are Soy for delicious fresh sushi; Schooners for amazing seafood in an open-air beachside restaurant; and, Kimonos for a fabulous hibachi dinner with a very entertaining chef! I also enjoyed Cafe de Paris for my fancy coffees and treats! We found every staff member to be helpful and friendly, from servers, to front desk, to landscapers - everyone was wonderful! I wanted to give a special shoutout to Janine (hostess), Melissa (server at Bombay), Ashere (beach bar), Dionne (spa), and Sharita (courtyard bar) for going above and beyond with kindness. We did not find the construction noise level to be annoying, though our room was further back in the resort. But even when walking past building under construction to access the beach, the noise was minimal. We loved having the two resorts right next to each other - the property is huge! We took long walks through the beautiful, colorful, manicured gardens, and enjoyed restaurants and activities on both sides. As far as negative reviews on beach loungers, I can honestly say that we walked up every single morning to rows of empty loungers. Most of the front row were taken, but we were more comfortable a few rows back under the palm trees (and closer to the bar)! My husband took the "Discover Scuba" lesson and afternoon dive; Michael was an excellent instructor and stayed at my husband's side on his dive! I went along for the boat ride in beautiful Carlisle Bay. It truly was the most wonderful, relaxing, and fun vacation, and I can't wait to go back!

This was our 8th Sandals trip and we loved it and it quickly became one of our favorites. The butler service was top notch...Thankvyou TONY. The food atmosphere and staff were all spectacular. I highly recommend this location.
